Inflammation & Cardiovascular Risk Can Put Your Heart at Risk

Most people know about high cholesterol. But not everyone knows how dangerous Inflammation & Cardiovascular Risk can be. It’s quiet. You may not feel it. But over time, it can damage your arteries and lead to heart attacks or strokes.

At BaleDoneen, we check for inflammation & cardiovascular risk early. We use lab tests to spot warning signs. Then we take action before problems start.

What Is Inflammation?

Inflammation is how the body reacts to stress or injury. It helps heal cuts and fights germs. But when it lasts too long, it can cause harm. This is called chronic inflammation.

Chronic inflammation and cardiovascular risk are closely linked. Inflammation in the arteries can lead to plaque buildup. That buildup blocks blood flow. Over time, it can cause a heart attack or stroke.

Signs of Inflammation & Cardiovascular Risk?

BaleDoneen Method test for signs of Inflammation & Cardiovascular Risk using blood work and scans. One key test is the hs-CRP test. It checks your C-reactive protein (CRP) level. A high CRP level means there’s inflammation in your body. That can point to a higher heart attack risk.

We also check:

  • Inflammation Markers for Heart Disease
  • Systemic Inflammation and Heart Health
  • Inflammation and Arterial Plaque
  • CRP Levels and Heart Attack Risk
  • Other Inflammatory Biomarkers Linked to Heart Issues

You might feel fine, but your test results could tell a different story.

Inflammation & Cardiovascular Risk

What Causes Inflammation?

Many everyday habits can lead to Inflammation & Cardiovascular Risk.

Conditions that directly cause inflammation:

  • Inflammatory Diseases
  • Periodontal Disease
  • Endodontic Disease
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Gut Dysbiosis
  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea
  • Hypertension
  • Hyperlipidemia
  • Insulin Resistance
  • Psychosocial Issues
  • Low Vitamin D

Contributors to oxidative stress and inflammation:

  • Nicotine Exposure
  • Air Pollution
  • MPO (myeloperoxidase, a marker and driver of oxidative stress)
  • Dysfunctional HDL
  • Lipo(a)

Underlying risk amplifiers or genetic drivers:

  • Genetics
  • Lifestyle
  • New Root Causes Yet to Be Discovered

When the immune response stays active too long, it starts to harm healthy tissues. This includes your arteries.

How Inflammation Hurts the Heart

Inflammation & Cardiovascular Risk can damage the lining of your arteries. That damage makes it easier for plaque to stick. As plaque builds up, arteries become narrow and stiff. This is called atherosclerosis.

Blocked or stiff arteries limit blood flow. That means your heart has to work harder. Over time, that can lead to chest pain, heart failure, or stroke.

What We Do About It

We don’t guess. We test first, then treat what we find. Our goal is to lower inflammation and reduce heart disease risk.

Here’s how we help:

  • Use Blood Tests and Imaging to Find Risk
  • Track Your Inflammation Markers
  • Offer Care Based On Your Results
  • Help with Diet, Sleep, Stress, and Oral Care
  • Build Habits That Reduce Plaque and Protect Your Heart

We also suggest an anti-inflammatory diet for heart health. That includes fish, greens, fruits, nuts, olive oil, and fewer processed foods. We help you make simple changes that can make a big difference.

Real Results

Our patients often see:

  • Lower CRP Levels
  • Less Plaque in their Arteries
  • Better Blood Flow
  • Lower Risk of Heart Attacks and Strokes

They feel better and stay healthier. Many avoid serious problems later in life.
